How to Start an Essay in 10 Minutes

If you’re like most people who visit our essay writing website, you’re probably in need of help right now!

Well, this article is going to do exactly that – help you start writing immediately so you can get beyond writer’s block.

Here’s what you need to do: Start writing!

The problem most people have with writing is almost always in “getting started”. From my experience, students struggle with this part because they are unwilling to see that “writing is a process” that must begin somewhere…

Fortunately for you, I’m here to give you a system that will help you do exactly that in 10 minutes.

Here’s what I want you to do:

Freewrite for 3 minutes on your topic. (Set a timer!)

Read over what you have.

Freewrite for another 3 minutes. (Enhance your focus.)

Read over what you have.

Freewrite for a final 3 minutes. (Get very clear!)

By the end of this process, you should have a much clearer idea of what you want to say in your essay. But more importantly, you will have done some writing!

I know this sounds too easy, but it really works. Once you complete this little exercise, your brain will be very active and you’ll be far more productive than if you had spent another 10 minutes sitting around thinking about writing.
